Nice going. Loved the original, continued my love for racing games after initially getting into them via Virtua Racing on the Megadrive.
It's shaping up nicely :) And yeah Dirt looks good too, but I really want the Richard Burns Rally team to make a next gen sequel with the graphics of Dirt and the persistent track deformation stuff in this, with a name change obv, r.i.p. Richard. |

I hope they tone down the sim aspects or have them optional. Apart from the fact that there's plenty of rivals aiming for anorak sim-realism which has been done to death, the joy of SR1 (lost somewhat by SR2) was that it was possible to play flat out foot to the board, p*ssed out of your brain, with a pint in one hand and the wheel in another, and hang perfect powerslides with a simple release/stamp of the throttle and a bit of a wheel wiggle. No game since, even the mighty burnout (arguably SR1's road racing heir), has ever matched the accessible fun which made it such a pub legend.
Simplicity rocks. |

Cant wait for this, the original arcade is without a doubt my favourite of all time, and I love the Saturn and DC versions. Lots of courses sounds great, but I do have a few concerns over the number of cars, and the customisation aspects. I hope its simply the different track settings and not lots of tweaking.
I sense 3william56 loves what I do (as im sure most people do) in the original, and has the same concerns about this. It really should just be a switch on and play game, though I can see why some people may like to fiddle with the suspension, gears and brakes. I just want to boot it up, pick a car and get the backend out. Any hint of a release date? |

Who owns the rights to Screamer? I loved both Screamer and Screamer 2 (but not Screamer 4x4, never played Screamer Rally) with their huge car models, extremely hectic gameplay and totally wild driving physics (I remember bouncing along the "forest walls" to be able to beat the high score). I want a Screamer re-make.

I dusted off my Saturn a couple of weeks ago. I connected it up to my old Phillips scart monitor and chucked in Saga Rally. Totally ace arcade gameplay that is just superb for a quick tune in, drop out session.
The above got me pining for Sega Rally 2 on DC. So at my mates at the weekend I made him set that up. It was fun but not as good, I think this was due to a crappy dark green hue 60hz T.V. and the not to good DC pads he had. Both Sega Rallies in the native arcade cab format are totally ace and I still have a go of them when I see them, if they are maintained well enough. This new Sega Rally looks to be really good, I want to play it now! wow what a rant, sorry everyone :) |

@Peej - I know what you mean, the surface deformation idea sounds FAR too good to be true. I will be interested in seeing the results though.
I had heard (don't know how true it is) that SEGA had poached some of the best UK racing game developers for its studio. If true, it must be worth keeping a closer eye on the game. |

Motorstorm has different surfaces that effect your driving, it doesnt have deformation that effects your driving. If Sega Rally has really got deformation that affects gameplay (and it sounds like it has) then that is a spectacular next-gen leap.

Yes, it does. |
